Marc Thurlow

Partner

I am careful to ensure I understand the bigger picture of my client’s circumstances so they know that any advice that I give will be tailored, with all the context taken into account. I also like to think that I am an astute tactician and that my clients realise this, and that they will be getting a responsive and considered service. I am based in our Basildon office.

I love the technical challenge of the job and helping clients to resolve, and move on from, fractious situations. The path to a resolution is not always an easy one for client and solicitor alike, but it’s a rewarding feeling when you know you have got them the best outcome they could have expected.

I am experienced at resolving disputes between owners of businesses (i.e. shareholder, partner and member disputes) as well as disputes relating to the financial sector. I have had a lot of experience dealing with professional negligence and intellectual property claims. I make sure that my clients are receiving great service and are getting the best advice to help them achieve their outcomes for any given dispute.

I am a partner in Birkett Long’s Basildon office, and my responsibilities include developing and growing its scale of operation and profitability.

I play a lot of sport - tennis, football and the gym are my favourite activities – and I like travelling as well. Since becoming a father, however, my daughter has taken up the time I used to spend pursuing all these hobbies!
